Back to the Confederate revolvers. I got this in a GB auction a couple of months ago as it will most likely be a long time before Pietta makes them again, if ever.

Navy Arms/Pietta Spiller & Burr (BL/1998). It came NIB after having been in the plastic bag with beaucoup Pietta oil for over 20 years.





I knew there would be a lot of brass, but this exceeded my expectations!  ;) I still have to get a spare mainspring from VTI to pare down in a shallow "H" shape as it is almost impossible to cock the hammer with one hand. My next project.

Regards,

Jim

Hello sourdough,

I think you could put a Wolf's reduced tension spring in it.

That would fit the "shot of the day" category.    What did the target look like after the rest of the cylinder was emptied?

For me, that would have been the last shot of the day...go out on top!
